Time to play a little of the backlog.

My personal sub-challenge for the month, between backlog and new-ins was all first spins. Made for a goodly dent in the backlog pile (though I've been doing my best to fill the pile back up too!)

Super fun month @jamieanderson1968 - I had a blast, and a pretty diverse bunch of spins too!

Day 26
Velvet Underground - David received a promo copy of the first VU album in 1966 and quickly added “I’m Waiting for the Man” to his live repertoire, even recording it as an unreleased single. This and later “White Light/White Heat” were played at least once over every subsequent tour until 2004.
Play a cover

One of my all-time favorite covers is on this comp - PM Dawn doing You Got Me Floatin'
This whole album is really really good; for those who are fans of these kinds of compilations, I highly recommend it.

Day 29
You’ve Got a Habit of Leaving - Recorded first in 1965 and then re-recorded in 2000.
Play a song about leaving or coming back

Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin" (1968 Atlantic; 1976 japanese reissue)
Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You

Day 27
Warren Peace (War and Peace) was the stage name of Geoff MacCormack, a long time friend of David’s and collaborator with him in the 70s.
Play a pun AND a literary allusion

The album title is somewhat of a pun and Flight of Icarus covers the literary allusion.

I used to play the heck out of this on CD way back when... I should look into getting a vinyl copy at some point.

Day 30: Ziggy Stardust “retired” on July 3rd 1973 (damn so close to June 30) - Play an artist who is somehow connected to a documentary

A Tribe Called Quest - Beats, Rhymes And Life

Michael Rapaport’s 2011 directorial debut was the documentary album about ATCQ, tackling the contentious yet loving relationship between these two visionaries and life long friends Q-Tip and Phife Dawg. The documentary reignited my love for the group, I hadn’t spent much time with Tribe since becoming an adult.

Thanks for playing along with the studio audience everyone. It is Canalandia Day tomorrow, I can’t wait for the Moose parade and beaver races. I am going to eat so much poutine drenched in maple syrup.

Canada sounds like more fun then the 4th of July. All we get is fireworks and hotdog eating contests.

Maybe a firework eating contest for something different?

Sounds explosive!

Bring whole new meaning to explosive diarrhea

Sounds explosive!

Same as the hot dog eating contest I imagine.

It’s like watching a car wreck. The whole thing is pretty horrific but you can’t look away. The human body wasn’t meant to hold that many hot dogs in one setting.

Hence the subsequent explosiveness
